Masi Mara Planes, Tanzania
We left the Seren Geti (behind me as I was taking the picture) and drove across the planes of the Masi Mara??? before ascending into the Ngoragora Crater (in the background).
Seren Geti National Park, Tanzania
This was the remains of the wildebeest we had seen the night before.

Seren Geti National Park, Tanzania
As the sun went down we were lucky enough to catch a bit of the wildebeest migration.
Seren Geti National Park, Tanzania
We entered the Seren Geti at the the north-west corner. Passes into the park last for 24hours so we had a day and a night to get from this entrance to our exit at the far south-east of the park.
Market Town, Tanzania
Clare and I walked down the road through the village to the lakeside. On the shore where piles and piles of tiny dried fish, like whitebait, some of them almost 2m high (the piles not the fish). The smell was very... interesting.
Market Town, Tanzania
On Saturday we made the journey from Lake Victoria to the Seren Geti. We were to be in the Seren Geti and then the Ngoragora Crater for 3 days so we stopped in a market in ??? to stock up.

TANZANIA Through Rosey's Tinted Spectacles
After crossing the border into Tanzania we spent one night on the shores of Lake Victoria before heading into the Seren Geti. We had 24 hours in the Seren Geti, enough time to see a lioness and her wilderbeest kill, wilderbeest migration, a spectacular sunrise, and a parade of elephants. The following 24 hours were spent in the Ngoragora crater. We left the mountains and journeyed south towards Arusha where we visited a Masi village before stopping off in Arusha itself. Next stop was Marangu at the base of Killimanjaro.

Nakuru National Park, Kenya
A dikdik, very elusive and shy. We were lucky to see this one. They are tiny, about the same size as a lamb.
Nakuru National Park, Kenya
Our first game drive in Nakuru National Park. Not long after sunrise I caught a glipse of what was in store for us.

AFRICA Through Rosey's Tinted Spectacles
In January 2006 my sister, Clare (of Three Beautiful Things fame), and I went on an intrepid adventure to Africa passing through Kenya, Tanzania, Zanzibar, Malawi, Zambia, Botswana, Namibia and South Africa. The following are our pictures.
(On our return, I carried on taking pictures and posting them here, so what started off as a record of our adventure has become my permenent blog.)
